What I Like to Do Over The Summer!

         Summer breaks is almost here, I know very exciting! So I am going to share what I like to do during summer break.

1. Go to Six Flags! I love going to Six Flags because I love roller coasters, also I plan to go with my friends a lot this summer which is going to be a lot of friends!

2. Have lazy days! I love having lazy days because you can just binge watch shows and not to have to go outside (we all have those days) when it's freaking hot!

3. Hang with friends! I love hanging with my friends because they make me laugh till my stomach hurts, and they are really fun!

4. Go to water parks! Going to water parks are really fun especially if they have lots of slides!

5. Go out of state! Every summer I always go out of state the last couple of years I've been to Georgia, Ohio, and  Wisconsin. This year I plan to go to Mexico to visit my family and go to the beach!

Thoughts On 13 Reasons Why (The Show)

         Yeah, I know here's another girl obsessing over "13 Reason Why" but you have to admit it's a really good show. The show is based on a girl named Hannah Bakcr who commits  suicide and she leaves takes behind for thirteen people who had some part of her committings suicide. I really like the show because it gives people a reality check, that everything you say or do to someone really does affect them. Also I believe that Jeff Atkins deserved better, if you watched the show we all know he deserved better. I recommend this show to people who are mature and are ready to cry ( a lot).

Milk and Honey

            Recently I read Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. Milk and Honey is a poetry book based on four chapters each explaining a part of her life. The Chapter are "The Hurting", "The Loving", "The Breaking", and "The healing." These first chapter explain her problems with the authors family she had and has, the second chapter explains the authors fallings in love. The 3rd chapter explains problems she has with her husband. The final chapter is about how she handles the problems she has when she is vulnerable. The book does  is very mature so I would recommend this to people who are mature and like poetry and also who are ready to shed some tears.

A few quotes I love

This is a quote that I really like. I like it for a few reasons actually. This quote is saying that nothing really doesn't bother us more than the things we chose not to say. This quote is basically saying how everything we don't say that we should've will haunt us for the rest of our lives. If we choose to nothing say one thing we wish we could get a chance to go back and say it to get it off our chest. I think this quote is really important because I'm pretty sure most of us in life can relate that we have chose not to say something we wish we could've.

Here is a picture of another quote I also enjoy. This quote states that the person that doesn't need anyone to tell them they're good enough is the most feared by everyone. The person doesn't need anyone's opinion to know that they are good enough and some people fear that because they are the type of people to need validation in whatever they do. This quote is showing that the one person that do sent care what anyone thinks, is the one that gets feared the most by people because other people wish they had that validation for themselves.

Friendship is happiness

        In life, friendships are very important. I know in my life friendship means everything to me. Without the close friends I have right now, I would be lost to be very honest. I have 3 very close best friends that I tell everything to. I know that they have my full trust and anything I need to tell them I could tell them, and they wouldn't judge me.We all started to get so close because let's face it,we are stuck together in 3 80 minute classes together everyday. They really made me feel like I could be myself around them and they didn't judge the real me.We have some of the best memories together and enjoy being together everyday. These 3 girl best friends I can count on for anything. Anything I need to talk about, they are there to listen. If I'm having a bad day, they are there to make me feel so much better and make me laugh until my stomach hurts. If I'm very excited about something coming up, they all are there to support me. I think it is so important that I have these 3 girls as friends because of the fact they have always been there for me whenever I really needed it. Now throughout life I know friends come and go but I would do anything for us to remain friends through high school. Even if we are separating I'd love to keep in touch with them because they're friendship is gold. They have really made my eighth grade year a blast and I can't wait to spend dinner dance and six flags with them. Most importantly, I can't wait to graduate with them as my best friends. I love them all equally so much and I can't thank them enough for making me feel great everyday. 

Madness in literature

        In this last quarter of our school year my class and I all read the book "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. In this book it tells the story about a group of British boys that are on a plane and suddenly it crashes. These group of boys get stranded on an unknown island with absolutely no adults. The story tells about how they first started out on the island to be civilized people but in the end they don't stick together as a whole anymore. Evil takes over some of the boys and it all goes downhill from there. The story is very very explicit in detail and explains every little thing they go through and how they deal with it. 

        To be honest with everyone, I didn't really enjoy this book. In my own personal opinion it wasn't that great of a book but I know some people out there would like it. I would really recommend this book to someone who is VERY patient with books. This book kind of goes slow when adding up to the very big scene in the book. If you like slow but interesting when it hits the end of the book then this could be the book for you. Also, if you like books that challenge you a little bit then this could be the book for you too. It does have violence and kind of gory scenes you could visualize in your head but overall it isn't too bad to read. Honestly this book wasn't a horrible book to read but I just didn't like it personally. I know some people in my class did like it and some didn't. It's just really what you're interested in. 

Thoughts on Life Is Beautiful!

      Life is beautiful is a comedy/drama movie based on a man named Guido, his wife, and son. Guido is book Jewish book shop owner, who meets his wife at her engagement party he steals his heart and they run off and start a family. One day his wife's mother told the Nazis that Guido was Jewish. They took Guido and his son to a consternation camp, his wife finds out so when the trains were leaving she joins the women being taken to the camp. While there Guido is determined to use his imagination to make the camp sound like a fun game. Anyways on my thoughts I liked the movie it made laugh, it made me angry, and sad.

       My favorite part is the ending which don't really want to talk about to spoil it but I will say it really shows how love can really keep people together. Also it shows you should never lose hope even when times are getting rough because it all works out in the end. It also made me want to cry but I kept it together (thank god), because if I didn't my mascara would have been running down my cheeks. Which I recommend if you're an emotional person do not wear eye makeup because you will ruin it.

       Also I would like to say I don't really like romantic movies and this movie really wasn't that bad for a romance movie. So if you are really into romantic/comedy/drama movies I would recommend this movie to you.  Also I suggest to watch this with your family and friends because it will make you appreciate them and bring you guys together. Also another of my favorite parts is when Guido comes into the party with the horse.

5 Tips On How To Be Awkward When Presenting!

When presenting it may scare some people to death because some are just shy. When I mean some people I mean me, every time I hear that I have to present I freak out inside because I just think about people looking at me and imagine the worst scenarios in my head. So here are some tips on how not to be awkward while presenting. 1. Don't move around a lot! I mean I get talking with your hands or maybe moving around to show something but do not move around too much or do the pee pee dance. 2. If you are really bad with eye contact, just look at the back of the room, but do not look to point where your neck is all the way up just looking into space. 3. It's okay if you stutter or make a mistake, if you know me you know I am the queen of stuttering at some point I always end up stuttering. That's okay just play it off or just giggle to show you know you made it mistake but it's time to move on. 4. Have good posture, having good posture makes you look more awake and give more energizing energy of that makes sense. 5. Talk loud and clearly, make sure everyone can understand you, maybe crack a joke or two to lighten the mood.

If I Stay

If I stay is a movie and a book, the book interested me when I saw the movie (made me cry). The book was written by Gayle Foreman. It based on a girl named Mia Hall (17 years old) she and her family were involved in a car accident. She was the only one that survived but she is in a coma. While she is on the coma she can see her family and friend visiting her. She finds herself in a hard situation she has to determine to live or die. My favorite quote from the book is "I'm not sure this is the world I belong in anymore. I'm not sure that I want to wake up." I really liked this quote because I believe that some point in a persons' life they will feel like they don't belong. I recommend this book to people who like novels and like to have a book to read and then watch the movie. Also get ready to cry!

The Devil's Highway

The Devil'S Highway is based on a true story. It is mainly about immigration, it is about twenty six men trying to cross the border to end up in a dessert in Arizona. The book was written by Luis Alberto Urrea. The book is slow paced in the begging (starts to get interesting on the starting pages of 50). If you are wondering what the "Devil's Highway" actually is it is U.S. Route 666. It honestly freaked me out. I found this book interesting because some of my family members came to America as immaigrants, so I wanted to know more about the struggle. I recommend this book to people who are patient and like the subject of immigration. As you can tell from my blog about my Super Bowl commercial, I am very interested in the subject of immigration. This book got my interest when my social justice teacher Ms.Suarez was talking about it class. I muster wanted a book that described the pain and difficulty of how people cross the border to start a new life. One of my favorite quotes the book is "always behave with respect." I like this quote because a lot of because I feel like people can be disrespectful without even knowing.

Thinklink On The Poem "The Storm"

Something I Regret.

          Something I regret is not taking the private high school exam. I feel like I'm very vulnerable of rejection so I avoid anything that can reject me. At first I was going to take the exam but I backed out like 3 days before because I was scared. I regret not taking the test because maybe I could have got into Nazareth. Maybe I could've graduated from my first choice school.

Propaganda Image Description

                 This image represents a baby who parents are Jewish. The Nazi's always thought all Jews were the same so they treated all bad. They would draw Jews as bad people. as  They also believed every Jewish baby was bad because of their religion. So in the image it shows people looking at the baby with disgust because he or she is apart of a Jewish family. The baby has no control of that, they don't know if he or she even chooses to be Jewish but they still look at the baby with disgust.


                              

A Day With Selena Quintanilla!

                   If had to spend a day with Grammy winning artist I would choose Selena Quintanilla! Selena was an amazing actress,singer, and fashion designer! I would like to get pizza with her because pizza was here all time favorite food! I would also ask her how to dance because she was a very great dancer and performer! Another reason why I picked her is because growing up I always watch her movie, which I still love till this day! I also still listen and love her music! One last thing I would ask her is what gave her inspiration to such unique clothes!

Perseverance

                    One time I had perseverance is in math (my weakest subject). Every quarter we have this test on math,lanuguage, and reading to see are academic scores. My first score was a little below of what I wanted to be at. So for that whole quarter I tried to understand math and ask for help when I needed help. I also tried to be much more organized when it came to my notes. When my second MAP test came along I grew 11 points!

My Favorite Super Bowl Commercial!

My Favorite Super Bowl commercial is the immigration commercial. I like this commercial because it portrays the difficult journey people face to come to America. I also like this commercial because it shows me the struggle my family went through to get here. This commercial overall shows how much  immigrants struggle to get here and how disopointed they will be when they see the wall our new president promised to citizens. 

               

Fake It Till You Become It

                  My weakest subject in school is math. Math challenges sometimes and I don't really like to ask for help. So I feel like I should pretend math is easy then just as my friends for help and also look online. No for the answers but how to actually do the work. I need to pretend as if math is my strongest subject so I can make it easier for myself. I can look at helpful videos to help make it seem easy for me will help me set my mind to understand the subject.

Best Advise I've Ever Gotten

          The best advice I've ever gotten was "nothing comes easy." My grandmother was talking to me about school and high school, and how should always focus my education. I was talking about how it was going to be a lot of hard work but know it would pay off. She said that nothing comes easy but if it did no one would care. She gave me this advice towards the end of the year of 7th grade.

Biggest Argument!

                  The biggest argument I had was with my brother. We fought because he thought I took the cord to his PS4. Which I didn't my cousin took it to make him mad, I didn't know at the time. I basically ignore him the rest of the whole entire day. Which is weird because we usually talk all the time and pick on each other. We didn't talk for like a day.

What I Did for Other During Winter Break!

                       During winter break I went to buy groceries with my mom. When we got there I noticed a women in need. I felt upset because it has cold outside and it was the holiday season. I didn't have any cash so I had to wait till I got cash. When I was a leaving the store I gave her some money she said thank you. This may seem like something little but it made me happy I could help her.
